Deion Sanders Remains Silent In Aftermath Of Firestorm He Started

... that the Indianapolis Colts had? You want to talk about that too? Because they were getting everybody’s signals. Come on, you don’t walk up to the line and look over here and the man on the sideline (is) giving you the defense that they’ve stolen the plays of. We all knew. (Tomlinson) knew. Everybody in the NFL knew. We just didn’t let the fans know. That was real and that was happening in Indy.”. abninf says. Feb 10, 2017 9:09 AM. Speaking of Twitter, Sanders has blocked the Pro Football Talk account. Which means either that he’s 13 or that the issue has struck a nerve. You wouldn’t say that to him in person. Only behind the safety of your computer. factschecker says. Feb 10, 2017 10:08 AM. Bob Kravitz wasn’t made to explain himself. (I’m not trying to be 13. Just trying to keep the apples with the apples.). gregfalco 15 says. Feb 10, 2017 11:12 AM. The moment that Dungy and others admitted to stealing signals (even if legally) the ball is on the Colts, the NFL, the media and the public to analyze their stance. I find Florio’s stance childish here considering that Dungy validated Deion’s accusation (who didn’t claim it was ...

I Had Better Stats Than Deion Sanders

... account on Feb. 11, including sad and pathetic claims of superiority that revealed that the poor (rich) guy has way too much time on his hands. Revis, Inc., might have crafted a pristine image of the man for the past decade, but the mercurial, entitled player has proven to be nothing more than a former great unable to come to grips with his new reality. This guy takes criticism about as well as the guy taking up (part-time) residence at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. Darrelle Revis embarrasses himself further when he engages with fans on social media about his place among the all-time greats. (Al Bello/Getty Images).

Deion Sanders Accuses The Colts Of Stealing Signals At Some Point In Time

... on the sideline giving you the defense that they’ve stolen the plays of. We all knew. L. T. knew. Everybody in the NFL knew. We just didn’t let the fans know. That was real and that was happening in Indy.”. Sanders presented zero evidence of this and didn’t even say which Colts teams were stealing signals, but he’s had harsh words for Peyton Manning in the past because of his big-game failures. Appearing Wednesday morning on “Pro Football Talk Live” with Mike Florio, former Colts coach Tony Dungy said that if Sanders was accusing Indianapolis of merely paying attention to opposing teams’ signals then they were guilty as charged, along with every single other NFL team in league history. “I think we have to go back to what is cheating,” Dungy said. “People accusing us of cheating? I don’t think that’s the case. Stealing signals? You can go back to the 1800 s in baseball, you can go anywhere there were signals done, and people were looking and watching and trying to get signals. Back in the early days of football the quarterbacks called the plays and the middle linebackers called the defenses and there was no ...

Labriola On Lake And Prime Time In 1989

... my preparation for the Combine was I didn’t worry about the bench press, because I knew I’d be strong enough for cornerback or safety,” said Lake. “I wanted to make sure I was ready for the 40 and the vertical jump and the other drills I would have to do. So once the Senior Bowl ended, I didn’t go into the weight room hardly at all. I just went onto the field and ran 40 s and did defensive back drills.”. * Lake played on a UCLA defense that included Daryl Henley, a cornerback who ended up drafted in the second round by the Rams that same year, and for Lake there was no stint at a performance camp or paying a private trainer. He simply asked Henley to show him some defensive back drills he could practice on his own. * “When I got to the Combine, they didn’t tell me what group I was going to be in,” said Lake. “Initially, they threw me in with the linebackers, and I knocked that out. I wasn’t worried about doing the 40, or the vertical, or the cone drills with the linebackers. I figured I’m probably going to be faster than those guys anyway. What I was concerned about was whether they ...

Peppers Returns For An Encore

... can line you up at deep-middle and you can go sideline-to-sideline like an Earl Thomas. They can drop you down on the slot, either in nickel or just in base defense. And, on third-and-4, if they’re playing the Pittsburgh Steelers and they want you to cover Le’Veon Bell in the sub-package, you can do that, too. Would you agree or disagree?”. Peppers’ response: “I would absolutely, 100-percent agree with that. Probably they could throw me into a few more situations, the sky’s the limit. A little punt return, kickoff return, punt coverage, anything I can do to prove myself and help the team, that’s what I’m gonna do.”. PLENTY TO CHOOSE FROM: Peppers wasn’t the only defensive back who impressed. Mayock characterized the crop on display as probably the best he’s seen in 10 years. “If you need a corner or you need a safety, this is the ...

Former Indianapolis Colts Head Coach Tony Dungy Speaks More On Deion Sanders Accusations

... audibles and try to figure out what they mean? Yes. Along with every other person who ever played the game.". Sanders, who made the accusations while speaking on the NFL Network following Super Bowl 51, stood by his comments via a series of tweets earlier in the week but hasn't elaborated on whether or not he was accusing the Colts of doing something illegal. Sanders made the comments in response to La Danian Tomlinson saying some might view the New England Patriots' Super Bowl success as being tainted due to Spygate, but Dungy said there was a big difference between Spy Gate and trying to figure out another team's signals. "The Patriots' problem had nothing to do with stealing signals," Dungy said. "Their problem and why they were fined a draft choice is they were illegally taping things, whatever they were videotaping. You can't videotape another team's bench from where they were shooting it.". Did Deion just use the Colts to get a reaction? Dungy suggested that was the case. "I think Deion said that for kind of shock value," Dungy said. "Every team in America, including his team, including him, would do ...

People Will Believe *anything* About Deion’s Nfl Combine

... I felt like I was floatin’. I felt like I was kinda coming off the ground. and as I hit the finish line I could remember. everybody was in disbelief. I just wanted the first person to say 4.2-something because I know 4.3 was not even in the factor.”. 4. But his performance is the legend that keeps generating its own ridiculous sub-legends, thanks to the fuzzy records of the 1980 s and his persona. Look at these suggested searches, which Google shows because lots of people look them up. Of all the legends associated with unseen NFL workouts — Bo Jackson’s 4.12! Rondel Menendez’s 4.19! Darrell Green evaporating into subatomic particles! — Sanders’ running-off-the-field story is the true story that already seems the most made-up and thus, once you find out it actually happened, the most fruitful for supplementary mythology. Look up any of those absurd claims about Sanders running the 40 backwards and in boots, and you’ll find people who appear to believe them. The backpedal one sort of became real-ish in 2013, when NFL Network’s Leon Sandcastle character (Sanders in disguise) nearly kept up with a forward-sprinting Rich Eisen. . but that was years after Sanders’ ...
